Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lapore saw himself on the official Fortnite Twitch channel during the $500,000 Summer Skirmish and did not like the language he was using.
The Fortnite pro wants to make an effort to clean up his presentation for major tournaments and events going forward.

Cloak finished second in Week 2 of the Summer Skirmish and is one of the best players in the world, so he was featured heavily on Fortnite’s stream during the tournament’s broadcast.
I just realized how bad it sounded when being spectated by the main fortnite channel during my games and I was cursing like a sailor, imma work on that guys I promise

Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, the biggest streamer on Twitch, stopped cursing on his streams in an effort to make his channel available to everyone.
FaZe Cloak also appears to see the value in a more open stream as his channel grows.

For now, Cloak will try to offer the best of both worlds by keeping his personal stream filled with the language some of his fans love, but he will not be cursing during Epic’s tournaments and events.
Only competitive environments and during big events of course to keep it respectable for the community and viewers, it’s extremely disrespectful to @EpicGames and @FortniteGame , BUT YALL BEST KNOW STREAMS ARE STAYING THE SAME SWEARING LIKE SAILORS ALL DAY

The popularity of Fortnite with children has caused an awkward situation for content creators that use adult language consistently in their streams and YouTube videos.
Some parents are keeping their kids away from curse filled Twitch broadcasts, potentially the limiting the subscriber count of streamers playing the biggest game in the world.
